3.2 Application for renewal

An application for renewal of a trade mark must be made before the date of expiry, but no earlier than one year before that date.¹³

Any person may apply for the renewal but the application for the renewal of a trade mark registration must contain the following information:¹⁴

• The trade mark registration number;
• The owner’s name and address for service;
• Where the owner has an agent, the agent’s name;
• The name and communication address of the person paying the renewal fee; and
• If the trade mark is registered in more than one class, details of the class or classes for which registration is to be renewed.

While a filing receipt for the renewal fees paid will be issued, renewal certificates are not issued under the Trade Marks Act 2002.
